Holder: Protect Rights of all Americans, Including Muslims

Once again Eric Holder has reached out to the Muslim community. Holder speaks of treating people equally. Then how about him and the rest of our leaders stop bowing down to Islam, and acting like Muslims are the most important people here in America? Who protected the victims of the Fort Hood attack?

Holder: Protect rights of all Americans, including Muslims
Attorney General speaks in Detroit
BY NIRAJ WARIKOO

Reaching out to Arab Americans and Muslims, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder strongly declared in a Detroit speech Thursday night that their full rights must be protected while the country battles security threats.

“We are committed to protecting the rights of all Americans, including Muslims,” Holder told a crowd of hundreds at the Detroit Marriot in the Renaissance Center. “This is not blind adherence to political correctness. It is devotion to our founding documents.”

In recent days, conservatives have assailed the Obama administration for what it sees as a political correctness in dealing with the issue of Islamic extremism.

Holder addressed the Republican criticism head on, saying that it’s vital that all ethnic and religious groups in America be treated equally. He attacked racial profiling, saying it was bad policy that breeds mistrust and division.

“For the last nine months, I’ve heard from Muslim and Arab-Americans who feel uneasy about their relationship with their government, who feel isolated and discriminated against by law enforcement,” Holder said. “This is simply intolerable. No American should feel denied the tenets of our Constitution or of the government that created it… It is inconsistent with what America is all about.”

Holder also addressed tensions locally that have emerged over the Oct. 28 shooting death of a Muslim leader by federal agents who were going to arrest him on suspicions he dealt with stolen goods. Holder did not mention specifically the case of Luqman Ameen Abdullah, the head of a Detroit mosque. But he said:

“The dialogue between law enforcement and those in the Muslim and Arab-American communities has been tested in recent weeks by events here in Michigan and events far away.”

But, he added, “Our resolve must not waver. We must renew our commitment to open communication even when we disagree.”

Holder also touched upon the Fort Hood shootings, in which an Arab-American Muslim serving in the U.S. Army shot dead 13 members of the military.

“We need answers,” said Abdullah’s son, Omar Regan. “Islam is a target.”

Not really Omar, but it should be.

MA: Muslims Pack Courtroon in Support of Alleged Islamic Terrorist

Just as Muslims turned in massive support for the Detroit Imam who was shot dead by the FBI, they have packed the courtroom in support of an American Muslim accused of wanting to open fire on mall shoppers. They stick together, while we fight amongst ourselves over whether there really is an Islamic threat or not. This needs to change.

Supporters of Sudbury terror suspect pack courtroom

About a hundred supporters of a Sudbury terror suspect, including children wearing T-shirts that read “Justice for Tarek,” packed a federal courtroom this morning where his lawyer argued for the man’s release on house arrest.

Magistrate Judge Leo T. Sorokin took the matter under advisement and will issue a decision about whether Tarek Mehanna, 27, should be released on bail at a later date.

The hearing drew supporters from all over New England and ranged from close friends of the accused terror suspect to people who read about Mehanna’s plight on a Web site launched by his brother, Tamer, on freetarek.com

“I know him. He’s a very nice guy. He’s my best brother,” said Arben Xhemalallari, of Worcester, who brought his daughter, Madinah, 8, to court. The little girl is a student of Mehanna’s at the Worcester Islamic Center.

“I disagree with everything I’ve read about him,” said Xhemalallari, who took off from his job at Table Top Pies to go to court. “I will find time for him because that’s how much I love him.”

Mehanna and co-defendant Ahmad Abousmra, 28, are accused of plotting with an associate to attack shopping malls and assassinate two unidentified government officials. The associate cooperated with the government’s probe into Mehanna and Abousmra, who lives in Syria.

Mehanna and Abousmra, each face a 10-count indictment alleging they provided material support to terrorists, conspired to kill in a foreign country and lied to federal investigators.

Defense attorney J.W. Carney Jr., said federal investigators charged Mehanna after he repeatedly refused requests from the FBI to become an informant. He told Mehanna’s supporters he’d never seen such a showing outpouring for a client.

“They wanted him to become an informant but he wouldn’t,” said Carney.

Prosecutors have portrayed Mehanna, a trained pharmacist, as an extremist who reveled in the death of American soldiers overseas and once expressed that “Texas BBQ” was a better way to handle a rape allegation against an American soldier than the judicial system.

Muslims Across the Country cry Victim

The Islamic victim card which was first played in Fort Meyers, and Chicago, is now being used across the country. According to these Muslims, Islam was not a factor in the Fort Hood attack. My advice to the Islamic community is to stop insulting our intelligence with your obvious lies. Islam had everything to do with this cowardly attack.

Another attack leaves US Muslims fearing backlash
By ERIC GORSKI, Religion Writer

As word spread that a gunman had opened fire at Fort Hood leaving a trail of carnage, a chilling realization swept across the U.S. Muslim community: He has an Islamic name.

From a professor who just testified in Congress, to a White House adviser appearing before a Jewish group and a former Marine driving home from work, Muslims across the country were shocked, angry and afraid that the attack would erode efforts to erase anti-Islamic stereotypes.

Many Islamic leaders said the Fort Hood tragedy that left 13 dead and 30 wounded including the alleged gunman, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, could likely post the sternest test for U.S. Muslims since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

"A lot of us work very hard for this country, to make America a better place," said Muqtedar Khan, a progressive Muslim scholar who has just given Congressional testimony on U.S. foreign policy in Afghanistan before Thursday's attack. "And this one nut like Maj. Hasan comes along and in one crazy episode of a few seconds he undermines these years and years of hard work we are doing to make American Muslims part of the mainstream in the community."

Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, is a Muslim who attended his former mosque daily and had an "Allah is Love" bumper sticker on his car. Soldiers reported Friday that the shooter shouted "Allahu Akbar!" — Arabic for "God is great!" — during the rampage.

Other troubling details also emerged, including reports that authorities suspect Hasan posted online messages about suicide bombers and violence, was struggling with a pending deployment to Afghanistan and was being harassed in the Army for being a Muslim.

While a motive remains unclear, the confirmation of Hasan's faith alone prompted major Muslim groups and mosques to issue statements condemning the killings as contrary to Islam and praising the service of the many Muslim Americans in the U.S. military.

Of immediate concern was security at mosques Friday, Islam's main day of communal prayer.

In Washington, Chicago and elsewhere, mosques asked police for extra patrols. In Garden Grove, Calif., officers stood watch outside a mosque as a precaution.

Muslim leaders warned people to be vigilant and avoid exposing themselves unnecessarily — including walking alone, said Hussam Ayloush, director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Southern California.

"This is one of those moments where we have to sit and pray that most Americans will come out stronger, more united, and more tolerant," said Ayloush, adding that Muslim organizations have received dozens of death threats and hate e-mail.

At the Muslim Community Center in Silver Spring, Md., which Hasan attended before moving to Fort Hood, Imam Mohamed Abdullahi urged worshippers Friday to tell their non-Muslim neighbors that Islam was not responsible for the deaths. He also advised them to keep their tempers in check.

"Whenever we hear the name turns out to be Arabic or Muslim we feel a double shock" about such incidents. "And then we worry about backlash," said Imam Mostafa Al-Qazwini of the Islamic Educational Center of Orange County in Costa Mesa, Calif.

U.S. Rep. Andre Carson, an Indiana Democrat who is one of two Muslims serving in Congress, cautioned against focusing on the alleged shooter's religion and instead said the discussion should be about mental health issues.

"This is no way a reflection of Islam any more than Timothy McVeigh's actions are a reflection of Christianity," said Carson, who supervised an anti-terrorism unit in Indiana's Department of Homeland Security and comes from a family of Marines.

Eboo Patel, the executive director of Chicago-based Interfaith Youth Core, had just spoken at a Union of Reform Judaism conference in Toronto on Thursday night when a rabbi told him: "The guy had a Muslim name."

"I had just spoken from the tradition of Islam ... on the importance of interfaith cooperation and building Muslim-Jewish bridges," said Patel, who sits on a White House faith-based advisory board. "I wish that was viewed as reflective of Islam instead of a deranged lunatic who was acting only in the tradition of deranged lunacy, not in the tradition of any faith."

But other Muslims were weary of what has become a routine: a Muslim does something unspeakable, and Islamic organizations issue statements condemning it.

"Truth be told, we're getting a little exhausted because we've done this to death," said Robert Salaam of Maryland, a former Marine who converted to Islam shortly after the 9-11 attacks and now blogs and hosts a radio show on Muslim affairs. "We're apologizing for people we don't know."

Still, driving home from work listening to the news Thursday, Salaam thought: "God, I hope it's not a Muslim."

Islamic Center for PEACE in Fort Myers Requests Additional Police Patrols

I knew it wouldn't be long after yesterday's horrific Islamic attack at Fort Hood, before Muslims cried victim. Crying victim, even though they admit that no threats have been made against them. How about us non-Muslims play the victim card and protect ourselves by demanding an end to Muslim immigration? That would be a good start.

Islamic Center for PEACE in Fort Myers requests additional police patrols

11:09 A.M. — Following the shootings at the Fort Hood Army base in Texas on Thursday, those at the Islamic Center for PEACE in Fort Myers have requested additional police patrols, though there have so far been no threats to the center.

Alibaba Lumumba, president of the center, said anytime there is a crime allegedly committed by a Muslim, the whole Muslim community suffers.

“But when there is a Christian who commits a crime, we don’t get into his religion or whether he wears a cross or not,” Lumumba said. “It’s a lack of knowledge about what Islam is and what it is not. Such acts of violence, especially if there were women, children or elderly who were hurt, are not condoned by Islam.”

Lumumba said he learned of the shootings after receiving a call from a religious leader at a different center, who also expressed concern of the safety of Muslims in their community.

“We do send our condolences to all the families that lost someone from that shooting, and to the people that were injured, I pray for them that their injuries will heal,” Lumumba said.

Michigan: Muslims Dominate Hamtramck City Council

Unfortunately for America the Islamic dominance in sections of Michigan is growing stronger, and stronger. Will the Islamic influence there get as bad as it is in the UK? Time will tell...

NOV. 4, 2009
Muslims given strong role in Hamtramck
BY NIRAJ WARIKOO
FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER

After Tuesday's election, Muslims are to make up half of the city council members in Hamtramck, a percentage believed by advocates to be the highest Muslim representation in a municipality in the United States.

Two Muslim candidates, Kazi Miah and Mohammed Hassan, were elected Tuesday to the six-member Hamtramck City Council, joining incumbent Shahab Ahmed, whose seat was not up for re-election. All three have roots in the Muslim-majority country of Bangladesh, reflecting the growing Bangladeshi-American population in a city that was once known for its Polish Catholic community. Hamtramck also has Muslim residents from Bosnia and Yemen.

Another Muslim candidate, Abdul Algazali, narrowly lost an election Tuesday in Hamtramck for mayor to incumbent Karen Majewski by 123 votes. Algazali, of Yemeni descent, was previously a city councilman.

Miah, 30, said he moved to the United States with his parents 20 years ago to New York City and then Hamtramck 11 years ago. He remembers his parents not being able to afford new clothes for their children.

"I'm humbled," Miah told the Free Press today. "I'm the son of immigrants. My parents still don't speak English. I didn't speak one word of English when I came here. This is what the American dream is all about. I'm living it.

During the campaign, some of his critics "catered to the fear of me being a Muslim,"
Miah said.

But he said his campaign was for all Hamtramck residents, not for any one particular ethnicity or religion.

"I may look different, but I'm as American as you are," Miah said. "I love this city and country."

"I want to find things we all have in common, and not look for things that divide us," he said.

Miah has been a member of various groups and commissions in Hamtramck, including a Polish-American group, he said.

"I'm trying to unite people," Miah said.

Detroit:1 Dead, 12 Sharia Loving Muslims Charged

Here is an update to yesterday's shoot-out in Detriot. Unfortunately I am not talking about a hockey game there.

FBI kills leader of radical Muslims; 12 charged
BY BEN SCHMITT, NIRAJ WARIKOO AND ROBIN ERB


The leader of a local mosque who authorities also are calling the head of an Islamic fundamentalist group was killed in a shootout with federal agents this afternoon during a series of raids that resulted in charges against a dozen men.

Luqman Ameen Abdullah, 53, leader of the Masjid Al-Haqq mosque in Detroit, is accused in a federal complaint of heading a Sunni Muslim group with a mission of establishing a separate Islamic nation within the United States.

Abdullah, also known as Christopher Thomas, was gunned down after firing on officers as the FBI raided a Dearborn warehouse, the U.S. Attorney's Office said. An FBI canine also was fatally shot. Raids also were conducted in Detroit.

"The eleven defendants are members of a group that is alleged to have engaged in violent activity over a period of many years and known to be armed," a joint statement from the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office said.

A 12th man was arrested late Wednesday in connection with the investigation. Three of the men charged were at large Wednesday night.

Abdullah and the others were charged with conspiracy to commit several federal felony crimes, including illegal possession and sale of firearms and theft from interstate shipments.

Abdullah spoke of attacking Super Bowl XL

Abdullah believed he and his followers were soldiers at war against the government and non-Muslims.

"Abdullah told his followers it is their duty to oppose the FBI and the government and it does not matter if they die," FBI agent Gary Leone said in an affidavit unsealed today. "He also told the group that they need to plan to do something."

Abdullah, 53, of Detroit stayed true to his word as armed FBI agents raided a Dearborn warehouse at Michigan Avenue and Miller. Authorities said he refused to surrender, opened fire and then died in a shootout in which an FBI dog also was killed.

Agents also raided two Detroit homes in the 4400 block of Tireman and the 9200 block of Genessee. The affidavits and returns for those warrants were sealed today.


The U.S. Attorney's Office and the FBI in Detroit unsealed a 43-page document describing a sinister, radical fundamentalist group headed by Abdullah. The document notes conversations he had with undercover agents and federal informants that ranged from talking about attacking Super Bowl XL in Detroit to blowing himself up as a final act of courage.

"If they are coming to get to me, I'll just strap a bomb on and blow up everybody," he said in a March 21, 2008, conversation.

Federal officials said Abdullah was the leader of a group that calls itself "Ummah, a group of mostly African-American converts to Islam, which seeks to establish a separate Sharia-law governed state within the United States."

"The Ummah is ruled by Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, formerly known as H. Rap Brown, who is serving a state sentence ... for the murder of two police officers in Georgia." Brown came to prominence in the 1960s as a leader of the Black Panther Party.

"He regularly preaches antigovernment and antilaw enforcement rhetoric," Leone said of Abdullah in the affidavit. "Abdullah and his followers have trained regularly in the use of firearms and continue to train in martial arts and sword fighting."

Why Abdullah and his followers chose Detroit as their haven remains unknown, Detroit FBI spokeswoman Sandra Berchtold said today.

Authorities said none of the charges levied today are terrorist-related. Abdullah and 11 suspects were charged with felonies including illegal possession and sale of firearms, mail fraud to obtain the proceeds of arson, theft from interstate shipments and tampering with motor vehicle identification numbers.

Muslim Student:UNM Islam Class Teaches Hatred

Well Muhajir, if your account of the class is accurate, they are only teaching the truth.

UNM's Islam classes teach non-Muslims fear, hatred
Editor,

As a Religious Studies major who happens to be Muslim, I recently signed up for classes related to my religion of choice: Islam. I thought that taking these classes would increase my knowledge of the religion and give me a much-needed break from the lies and propaganda that I see on the news. Man, was I wrong.

Not only did my teachers not know about the true teachings of Islam, they acted like cheerleaders for the so-called War on Terror. I had one professor compare the Prophet Muhammad to Adolf Hitler. Then a couple of days after that, another professor told a class of scared Christians that Islam teaches terrorism.

And so here I am in the middle of another semester listening to the same lies. I sometimes find myself asking, “Did my professors of Islam study the religion at the University of Guantanamo Bay or Abu Ghraib?” The only knowledge about Islam that is being passed on to non-Muslim students is fear and hatred. Maybe one day common sense will prevail and UNM will hire Muslims to teach classes about Islam.

Muhajir Salam

17-year-old charged with threatening terrorism
By Brittany Shammas

A former MSU freshman no longer is enrolled in the university and is in jail on a $150,000 bond following his Tuesday arrest for making a terrorist threat or false report of terrorism.

Zachariah M. Aslam, a 17-year-old from South Rockwood, Mich., was arrested after police were informed he was making threats, according to a statement from the MSU Police.

Aslam was an enrolled student before the arrest, MSU spokesman Terry Denbow said, declining to comment further. The FBI was involved in investigating, FBI spokeswoman Sandra Berchtold said. Aslam was arraigned Friday in East Lansing’s 54-B District Court before Judge Richard Ball.

Berchtold referred all questions regarding the case to the MSU police. MSU police Sgt. Shaun Mills said police could not comment on the case.

Aslam’s neighbors and acquaintances said they were shocked by the arrest. History sophomore Chris Rivard, Aslam’s former roommate, said he had a hard time believing the charges could be true.

Aslam was a “very nice guy” who brought home extra snacks from an event with the crew team he was on, Rivard said.

“Just from living with him for a couple of months, it doesn’t seem like he had a violent bone in his body,” he said.

Rivard said he did not see anything in Aslam to make him anticipate the arrest.

“He was known for making some outlandish comments, but it’s definitely Zach. … And you’d go, ‘Well, that’s just Zach,’” he said.

Aslam’s profile on Facebook listed his academic programs as computer engineering, physics and math. It included many updates, some of including references to chemicals and weapons.

Fisheries and wildlife senior Zach Darter, who lives on Aslam’s former floor, said Aslam was friendly but a loner and many floormates did not know him.

“You never heard anything about him,” Darter said.

Aslam currently is being held in the Ingham County Jail, although that could change, Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings III said. Dunnings said he expects Aslam’s pretrial exam to take place sometime in December.

Converts to Islam, Want to "Help" and Convert me to Islam

Yesterday I received this email from what I originally thought was a leftist Islamic apologist. But it turned out to be from a Christian convert to Islam, who told me that I am ignorant on Islam. Yet this person could do no better than run to their friend for help.

what a nasty, vile info site this is - reminiscent of the propaganda that started being pedalled by the nazis in the 30s against jewish people. Shame on you Y

CL

Yes there is a lot of nasty actions done by Muslims on my site....

Jews were not trying to subjugate the world under a set of barbaric religious laws. Muslims are. Big difference.

Islam also calls for Muslims to fight and kill Jews to reach judgment day.

Book 041, Number 6985:

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.

When you actually know something about the issue, get back to me. Until then keep your mouth shut.

In this email, "Y" avoids the Jew hatred that stems from Islam. "Y" probably agrees with it, as so many Muslims do.

Christopher,
I am deeply alarmed by your sick and twisted mind - you are unable to distinguish between the parallels I've drawn for you of the 1930s and the present day. Your flawed arguments and lack of knowledge towards Islam and the other monolithic faiths expose you for what you are.

I can put you in touch with quite a learned Muslim who can probably enlighten you, but you have to be willing to open up your mind and remove the blinkers you're wearing. Y

CL

You are unable to distinguish that Jews were no threat but Islam is. Islam is today's Nazism, but you cannot see that because your head is buried in the sand.

I have studied from the Islamic scriptures and have been complimented by experts on the issue that over 100 years of study on this issue combined.

When YOU actually know something about Islam get back to me, ignorant one.

Islam allows lying, rape and terrorism and here you are supporting it. That says a lot about you.

Here we see "Y" avoiding the sickening facts that I had just mentioned.

Christopher,

If you want an intellectually stimulating discussion I can help - but someone who thinks Islam began 100 years ago reveals your inadequacies.

I am copying in a friend who might be able to enlighten you further - we are both former Christians and have an indepth knowledge of the monolithic religions. We can help you.

Y

I am not sure where "Y" gets that I think Islam started just 100 years ago. Although the usual Muslim elitist attitude is hilarious. Especially from someone who obviously knows little about Islam.

assalamu alaikum

i am Y's friend. how are you? if you have any questions about Islam please let me know T

CL

I already know about Islam, so take the con somewhere else.

assalamu alaikum

that is amazing that you know so much about Islam. good for you.
so why don't you take the final step and become muslim? T

CL

No thanks. Islam is the enemy of Western civilization.

Not interested.

assalamu alaikum

Islam is about worshiping God. we don't have any enemies except those who hated us first T

Of course "T" ignores that fact that Islam/Sharia Law is the enemy of Western civilization.

CL

Right....Islam is about dominating non-Muslims and there is nothing for a non-Muslim to like about that. The "defensive war" excuse does not fly here.


I will save you some time, I am going to speak out even more now. You are wasting your time here.


Muslims and the left can insult and push me all they want, I am not going to shut up!

Tonight's CAIR Banquet Sold Out~Let the Hate Fest Begin!

Not only does the pro-Sharia Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), continue to whine about the four GOP members that have targeted them, they also have a sold out house for tonight's hate fest.


Here is what one of tonight's speakers had stated in the past.

In September 1991 Wahhaj stated the following:,

"…And [Allah] declared 'Whoever is at war with my friends, I declare war on them.' ... Your true friend is Allah, the messenger, and those who believe.... Hear what I'm telling you well. The Americans are not your friends ... The Canadians are not your friends ... The Europeans are not your friends. Your friend is Allah, the Messenger and those who believe. These people will never be satisfied with you until you follow their religion ..."

In a 1992 address to an audience of Muslims in New Jersey, Wahhaj expressed his desire to see Muslims seize control of the United States and replace its constitutional government with an Islamic caliphate. “If we were united and strong,” Wahhaj said, “we'd elect our own emir [leader] and give allegiance to him.... [T]ake my word, if 6-8 million Muslims unite in America, the country will come to us.”

CAIR Banquet Sold Out, Congressional Coalition Blasts Anti-Muslim Reps


WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Council on American-Islamic
Relations (CAIR) announced today that its 15th annual banquet on October 24th
in Arlington, Va., is sold out. (The banquet registration site will close
tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern. No tickets will be sold at the door.)


At the dinner on Saturday, hundreds of Muslim community members and activists, interfaith leaders and diplomats from Muslim nations will hear addresses by Rev. Jesse Jackson, former Congressman Paul Findley, Imam Mahdi Bray of
MAS-Freedom, and Dr. Agha Saeed, chair of the American Muslim Taskforce on
Civil Rights and Elections (AMT). Muslim comedian Ahmed Ahmed will perform at
the banquet.


CAIR also announced that the Congressional Tri-Caucus, a coalition made up of
the Congressional Black Caucus, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the
Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, released a statement blasting
far-right House members who recently promoted a Muslim-bashing book to
insinuate that Muslims in Congress are "spies."


The Congressional Tri-Caucus statement reads in part:


"These charges smack of an America of sixty years ago where lists of
'un-American' agitators were identified. We should be affirming the importance
of diversity and tolerance for all interns and staff who serve in Congress
without suspicion of being identified as 'spies.'


"The idea that we should investigate Muslim interns as spies is a blow to the
very principle of religious freedom that our founding fathers cherished so
dearly. If anything, we should be encouraging all Americans to engage in the
U.S. political process; to take part in, and to contribute to, the great
democratic experiment that is America.


"We all have experienced the sting of discrimination and we know that there
will be challenges ahead. But our message should be firm that the America we
believe in welcomes people of all backgrounds to the U.S. Congress."

Obama Offers Millions in Muslim Technology Fund

One of the few promises that Obama has actually kept was to cater to the Islamic world. This is one promise that he should of broken.

Obama offers millions in Muslim technology fund
Oct 23

The White House Friday highlighted a new multi-million-dollar technology fund for Muslim nations, following a pledge made by President Barack Obama in his landmark speech to the Islamic world.

The White House said the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) had issued a call for proposals for the fund, which will provide financing of between 25 and 150 million dollars for selected projects and funds.

The Global Technology and Innovation Fund will "catalyze and facilitate private sector investments" throughout Asia, the Middle East and Africa, the White House said in a statement.

Eligible projects would advance economic opportunity and create jobs in areas like technology, education, telecoms, media, business services and clean technology, the White House said.

OPIC said sample projects could help foster the development of new computer technology or telecommunications businesses, or widen access to broadband Internet services.

Proposals must be submitted by the end of November, and managers of funds that make a final short list will make presentations in Washington in January.

Final selections will be announced next June.

In his speech to the Muslim world in Cairo last June, Obama argued that "education and innovation will be the currency of the 21st century" and that under-investment was rife in many Muslim nations.

As well as the fund, Obama also said he will host a summit on entrepreneurship this year to deepen ties between business leaders in the United States and Muslim communities around the world.

'Terroristic threat' suspect from Minn. arrested at Chicago airport
By PAUL WALSH, Star Tribune
Last update: October 23, 2009

A 36-year-old Richfield man charged with making terroristic threats during an argument with another man in Wright County has been arrested at O'Hare Airport after skipping out before his trial was to begin this month, authorities in Minnesota said today.

Ismail Alqawasmi remains in custody after his arrest at 8 p.m. Thursday, the Wright County Sheriff's Office said.

According to the Sheriff's Office:

Alqawasmi and another man argued at a residence on Jan. 18, 2008, and Alqawasmi made some threats.

His jury trial was scheduled for Oct. 5, but he failed to show up. A warrant was issued for his arrest three days later.

The Chicago-Sun Times reported that Alqawasmi flew into the United States from Amman, Jordan, on Royal Jordanian airlines and a customs official conducting a name check found the warrant on a law enforcement data base, according to police.

Alqawasmi was searched and had a Jordanian passport that was being held by U.S. Customs, police told the newspaper.

Alqawasmi is expected to appear before a Cook County judge today and could soon be headed back to Wright County, the Sheriff's Office said.

Illinois: Massive FBI Raid on Islamic Slaughterhouse

Massive FBI Raid on Islamic Slaughterhouse Mystifies Tiny Illinois Town

At 8 a.m. Sunday the population of Kinsman, Ill., stood at 109. An hour later it nearly doubled, as upwards of 100 federal agents and police swooped in on the tiny, rural community. And no one seems to know why.

The law enforcement officers, including FBI agents, immigration officials and state police, surrounded an Islamic meat plant in Kinsman, cordoning off the area and briefly detaining the plant's handful of employees.

The FBI isn't saying much, and the county sheriff is mum too, leaving Kinsman's residents mystified. The bust, in a town that has no local police force, involved dozens of vehicles, a pair of snipers and a helicopter flying overhead, witnesses said — but it ended without even a single arrest.

"We're all baffled," Mayor Mark Harlow said. "You know, stuff like this doesn't happen in a small community."

The unusual show of force has residents spooked and has left the mayor searching for answers.

"The public reaction is ... are they safe? We don't know," Harlow said. "What are they doing? We don't know. Are they making bombs? We don't know."

Harlow said residents of the town rarely see the five or six employees of the First World Management butcher shop, which provides ritually slaughtered and processed lamb and goat meat for Muslims living in Chicago, 50 miles to the northeast.

Some of the workers were handcuffed during the raid, but they were eventually released, Harlow said. He said the workers are foreign-born and live in a trailer on the property behind the plant's meat locker, and they have never harmed anyone in town.

ACCUSED TERRORIST TAUGHT AT ALHUDA ACADEMY

WORCESTER — Boston television crews were preparing to broadcast live last evening from Alhuda Academy on the latest news concerning a teacher charged in a terrorist plot when a young man slowed his sport utility vehicle and rolled down the window.

“Is this the place where they train terrorists to kill Americans?” he asked the cameramen before pulling away.

Similar scenes were repeated outside the East Mountain Street school during the course of the day after word spread of the arrest of Tarek Mehanna, who is accused by federal authorities of plotting to kill soldiers, mall shoppers, and politicians.

The arrest has prompted fear of possible retaliation among area Muslims.

“There's no question that there is a climate of fear building in our community as a result of this arrest,” said Tahir Ali, a longtime spokesman for local Muslims. “There are some who are worried that all Muslims will be viewed as terrorists.”

The 27-year-old Mr. Mehanna, who taught science and religion to middle-schoolers at the academy, was arrested Wednesday at his parents' Sudbury home.

According to court documents and federal officials, Mr. Mehanna was allegedly part of a conspiracy between 2001 and 2008 that intended to kill, kidnap, maim, or injure soldiers and two unidentified politicians who were members of the executive branch but are no longer in office.

The U.S. Attorney's Office in Boston said the men also planned attacks at malls because U.S. civilians pay taxes to support the government and are “nonbelievers.”

Mr. Mehanna's friends and family, including his father, Ahmed Mehanna, a professor at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, were shocked to see him depicted as a would-be terrorist

“No, definitely not,” said the elder Mr. Mehanna, when he was asked whether he believed the charges against his son.

News trucks started to line the front of the academy early in the day yesterday and school officials quickly blocked off the parking lot with orange cones. Workers from two security companies were observed checking doors and the alarm system.

Worcester police were called by the school to disperse the gathering media. A police officer dispatched to the school told reporters not to trespass on school property and not to block the driveways.

Imam Abdul Karim, the spiritual leader of the local mosque, appeared from behind closed doors around 2:30 p.m. to deliver a statement. He declined to answer questions and asked reporters to leave because he said the cameras were making students nervous.

“Violence and aggression in any way, shape or form is absolutely against the teachings of Islam that we uphold,” said the statement. “Muslims in (the) greater Worcester area have been peaceful and law abiding citizens for more than 50 years. We stand by the judicial system. We are confident that the truth of these matters will surface in due course, and that justice will be served.”

It is unclear when Mr. Mehanna last taught at Alhuda.

Local Muslims said they believed Mr. Mehanna was a member of the Islamic Center of Boston in Wayland.

A third Toledo-area man, Wassim Mazloum, was sentenced to eight years, four months in prison Wednesday night in U.S. District Court for his involvement in a plot to kill U.S. troops overseas.

Mazloum also was ordered deported after serving his prison term.

Earlier in the day, Marwan El-Hindi was sentenced to 12 years in prison, after the morning's 20-year sentencing of Mohammad Amawi.

All could have faced life in prison.

El-Hindi also was sentenced to an additional 1½ years in prison on an unrelated theft and fraud conviction in which he and another man conspired to take $40,000 from the government. His sentence carries a $20,000 fine.

In addition to their prison time, Judge James Carr ordered both Amawi and El-Hindi to undergo supervised release for the rest of their lives. El-Hindi and Amawi were both convicted June 13, 2008, of the same charges of two counts each of conspiring to kill or injure people in the Middle East — including U.S. troops serving in Iraq —and of providing material support and resources to terrorists overseas.

They also were found guilty on two counts of distributing information regarding explosives.

Title Does the Quran Include Everything?
Date 20/Oct/2009

Question I am Hindu; and I am reading about Islam. I have a question for you. It might seem simple for you. Does the Quran include everything?

Topic Qur'an & Scriptures, New to Islam, Islamic Creed

Name of Counselor Imam Ahmad Saad



Thank you very much for your question, which is meaningful and important, although it looks simple.

Muslims believe that the noble Quran is the final word of God revealed to humankind to guide its ways, and show people how to get close to their Creator by fulfilling what He has ordained on them, and how to fulfill their mission on earth by taking care of their responsibilities towards others.

It is the beacon to guide humanity to the path of its Creator, and show them the way to save themselves in the turmoil of this life, and enjoy the pleasure of Allah in this life as well as in the hereafter.

According to Islam, one of the unique characteristics of the Quran is that it is the book of all times and space. This means that the rulings and the teachings of the Quran are not restricted by time and space. They are universal and trans-time. They can be applied today as they were applied 1400 years ago, and can still be applied till the end of time.

Regardless of the change of our methods, knowledge, and approaches, this does not affect the validity of the teachings of the Quran. The Quran speaks of itself; and we are told that it is also a comprehensive book. Allah the Almighty says in the Quran what means:

[We have not neglected anything in the Book.] (Al-An`am 6:38)

The comprehensiveness of the Quran is necessary to enable people to function in their lives according to its guidance, and apply its teachings in their lives. The Quran tells us that it was revealed to be followed and applied with the intention of achieving guidance and leading a proper, God-pleasing life. In order for this purpose to be fulfilled, the Quran has to be comprehensive and all-embracing.

To the Muslim con men and their leftist supports who stop by, you might want to check this Imam's credentials before you waste your breath here.
